Heres a scenario for you all. I live with my parents and have nurses during
the day and my mother sleeps on a couch at night near my room. An intercom is
used but my mother has a slight hearing problem. Last night my tubing
detached itself and I found myself in respiratory distress and my mother did
not hear the vent alarms for a long time. Suffice it to say I thought I was
going to die. Is there anyone in a similar situation? Is there anyone who has
experienced a similar episode? What is a good way to prevent these
experiences? I've had 3 since being on a vent? 11 years this Christmas.
